Rapidly detecting disorder in rhythmic biological signals: A spectral entropy measure to identify cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]
We consider the use of a running measure of power spectrum disorder to distinguish between the normal sinus rhythm of the heart and two forms of cardiac arrhythmia: atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. This spectral entropy measure is motivated by characteristic differences in the spectra of beat timings during the three rhythms.

Among patients with new‐onset or worsening heart failure (HF) undergoing optimization of HF medical therapy, dose up‐titration of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEi/ARB) therapy was associated with lower likelihood of left atrial adverse remodelling (LAAR).

Arrhythmia Classification from the Abductive Interpretation of Short Single-Lead ECG Records [PDF]
In this work we propose a new method for the rhythm classification of short single-lead ECG records, using a set of high-level and clinically meaningful features provided by the abductive interpretation of the records. These features include morphological and rhythm-related features that are used to build two classifiers: one that evaluates the record ...

BACKGROUND: To validate the predictability of reentrant circuit isthmus locations without ventricular tachycardia (VT) induction during high-definition mapping, we used computer methods to analyse sinus rhythm activation in experiments where isthmus ...

Aims To assess adherence to guideline recommendations among a large network of Italian cardiology sites in the management of acute and chronic heart failure (HF) and to evaluate if an ad‐hoc educational intervention can improve their performance on several pharmacological and non‐pharmacological indicators.

Reversal of endotheual dysfunction after AF cardioversion [PDF]
BackgroundFlow abnormalities which occur in AF patient due to irregular heart rate which resultant turbulent flow both in left atrium and systemically may lead to endothelial dysfunction.Aim of the workTo detect endothelial dysfunction in non rheumatic ...

Atrial amyloidosis: mechanisms and clinical manifestations
Atrial amyloidosis: pathophysiology and clinical manifestations. Atrial amyloidosis can manifest as part of a systemic disorder (as in amyloid light‐chain [AL] or transthyretin [ATTR] amyloidosis), or be isolated (in the form due to atrial natriuretic type [ANP] accumulation); this last form is often associated with permanent or persistent atrial ...

Rationale and current perspective for early rhythm control therapy in atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and an important source for mortality and morbidity on a population level. Despite the clear association between AF and death, stroke, and other cardiovascular events, there is no evidence ...
